Q.Shield Down

Q.Shield DOWN is a giant leap forward in down performance. Down fibers are infused with a permanent water repellency that helps maintain insulating performance even when exposed to moisture.

Technology

Ghost Whisperer Fabric

Ghost Whisperer is a fabric so unique there’s only one mill in the world that can weave it. We developed this super-lightweight fabric as part of our Ueli Steck Project, a collaboration with speed alpinist Ueli Steck to reinvent climbing apparel and equipment for the next generation of ultrafast alpinists. The Ghost Whisperer fabric’s super-tight weave is naturally downproof, windproof and water repellent. While some claim to offer lighter fabrics, the Ghost Whisperer is the world’s only true 7 denier by 10 denier fabric, using single 7d and 10d yarns rather than pairs of strands.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dakota423 "Ghost" is right
What an amazing vest! When it says "lightweight", it means lightweight. Wearing this vest feels like you're wearing nothing at all. But don't let the weightlessness fool you: this sucker keeps your core WARM. I layered this over a fleece jacket, and my core stayed toasty at 30 degrees. It packs into its own pocket to a size that's equivalent to a large women's wallet, but again, it weighs next to nothing, and if you squished it, it's even smaller. I just shove it into my purse so it's on hand. I can't wait to take it backpacking. I've spilled a bit of water on it before and it didn't absorb into the down too much. I wouldn't call it waterproof, but it hasn't been exposed to heavy moisture yet, so that's to be determined.
My only "dislike" about this vest is that I ordered the white one, and was unaware that "white" meant pretty much see-through. There are a few bits of unbleached down feathers that show through the material, which takes the appearance level down a bit, but overall, this is a wonderful addition to my outdoor gear, and I wear it all the time. Another great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MtnHeather LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS VEST!
This vest is amazing! Fits perfect (true to size) I'm a size medium (5'4" 145lbs) I really cannot believe how light weight this vest is. perfect for travel and all of your adventures. Great as an outerwear vest and it is very low profile so great for layering underneath a jacket too. I live in Colorado so I will be living in this vest.
